Hope he takes his back meds before they get here... that's a lot of bowing.

This is all a cover to get the leader of the Palestinians in his office. He doesn't care about Egypt, Jordan or Israel, he only cares about helping Palestine achieve its objective of taking Jerusalem back.

Pres. Obama is smart to meet with them separately. This reminds of Catholic pre-marriage counselling. The priest talks to the would be bride and groom separately to get their views on, e.g. child rearing. If one says he is for and the other is against, this gives the priest an indication that trouble is brewing before they enter into this holy bond. Just my thoughts.
